Problem Applying Skins

WindowBlinds v. 5

from Stardock Forums

I have the latest version of WindowBlinds, however i am having a problem applying skins.  Recently all of the skins were working fine, but now i can't seem to apply skins to my desktop. I am using the free version of WindowBlinds and am using XP pro operation system. 


Whenever i try to apply a skin, it applies the window classic theme, despite which skin i choose. I have tried unloading WindowBlinds and then uninstalling it and redownloading the program, but i am still having this problem.  I simply cannot apply any of the skins in the program.


Originally, i was simply browsing the web, when i received an error message from explorer, which simply said it an internal error occured and that explorer would restart. After i restarted the original Windows Classic skin became installed on my desktop and i cannot change it.


Please someone help me. 

EDIT: here is what the system information says:

The trial is just that... a 60 day trial. Reinstalling it won't make it work again.

Now you have to decide if the amount of happiness you had is worth purchasing it.

If you start leaning towards the purchase...you might consider the full ODNT package. The price is worth 3 of the programs alone & you get a lot more than that.

Did you uninstall and reboot before installing the full version? If not, uninstall ..reboot...reinstall...reboot.

Im having the same problem, but I only downloaded the program yesterday. Whats the deal?


Had you ever installed windowblinds before? Perhaps there is a registry setting crossover? Just guessing.
